Donegal U-16 and U-15 Academy squads in finals this weekend

The Donegal U-16 and U-16 squads have important games this Saturday at two different venues.

The Donegal U-16 team take on Down in the Buncrana Shield with a 12 noon throw-in in Buncrana. They defeated Monaghan in the semi-final in Clones in July.

The game will be the curtain raiser to the Buncrana Cup final between Tyrone and Armagh also at the Scarvey, Buncrana.
